Malposition of Foetus- Must We Always Interfere?

Posted on July 13, 2009 by Yael7 Comments

Lately I heard a lot of success stories about using BL67 for malposition of the foetus.
You know what I mean, a woman comes around the 34th week of her pregnancy, the baby is breech and won’t move.
These women have a very un-pleasent (to say the least) option via Western medicine, and are facing a more friendly approach that Chinese medicine provides. Bothmethods claim to work well, but with both methods there is a strong possibility that the baby will go back to breech.
And I wonder- should we always try and “fix” the baby’s position? What about the times we shouldn’t do anything? How can we tell?

The background story for my thoughts
Two and a half years ago my boy Shahar was born by C-section.
During the pregnancy everything was fine and he was always with head down, but during the 9th month, he started turning around quite often, until he decided to stay breech. I was offered the two methods to turn the baby, I thought only of BL67 with moxa, but didn’t get to it and finally had the C-section.
